And it seems, from this discussion, that we do a worse job of filling that niche than nearly anybody else. Can anybody name even one aspect of our group that is leading the pack? Number of posts, topicality, new members, search engine visibility? I dare say not one. I would even say we are not even in the middle of the pack for any measure you would care to name. The strongest point we have, expertise, is surely eclipsed by any of the much more lively groups mentioned in this discussion. And what is the point of expertise, if there is audience to benefit from it? Whine and moan all you want about the state of Access, but there are two undeniable points: 1. There is still a viable niche for Access support 2. We are doing a crap-ass job of filling that niche -Ken
